v1.0.0 prelease (v0.99.21) - update T

Dialogs: The button order for dialogs has been swapped.

VirtualBox: A workaround for a bug in VirtualBox where very large displays were not updating correctly has been implemented.

Network Status: Network status can now be read from userspace at /proc/netif.

Panel: A network status widget has been added to the panel. The clock and date widgets now show a calendar popover. The volume widget now periodically updates to account for potential knob changes in other applications.

Alt-F4: Alt-F4 support has been fixed after being broken when applications moved to a generic mainloop implementation.

Network: The e1000 driver is now functioning, and bugfixes have been introduced for the pcnet and rtl drivers that should fix issues using them with QEMU's TCG backend and other slow systems.

Netboot: The netboot image has been updated. Please download a new ISO below if you are using netboot. You can now use the netboot image on systems with supported Intel PRO/1000 series cards.

Known Issues

There are no specific known issues in this release.

Usage

VirtualBox is the recommended environment for running ToaruOS. QEMU is also supported. Using ToaruOS on real hardware is not recommended and we are not responsible for any issues you may encounter or damage this may cause. Other virtual machines and emulators are not supported and may not work. It is not recommended that you run ToaruOS in Bochs as the UI requires considerably higher performance than Bochs is capable of providing. When using QEMU, KVM is preferred but acceptable performance should be possible with the non-accelerated TCG backend on modern hardware.
